Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon

Not to mention Monica Bellucci, after the model catwalk, John Suffolk followed Li Zhiwen to the chairman's office, ready to report on the company's situation.

"Dora, make John a cup of coffee!" Li Zhiwen came to the office and said to Dora Carrington who was following behind him while taking off his coat.

"Okay, boss!" Dora Carrington replied.

Li Zhiwen sat down on the boss chair, and then said to the opposite John Suffolk: "Sit down, John!"

"Yes, boss!" John Suffolk said.

"John, how are you doing recently?" Li Zhiwen asked as if chatting.

"Very good, if the work can be less, it may be more fulfilling." John Suffolk spread his hands and said.

"John, then I can't promise you, you have to think about the dividends at the end of each year." Li Zhiwen pretended to be unhappy and said.

"Oh, well, boss, the company is yours, you have the final say!" John Suffolk pretended to be dissatisfied and said.

In fact, Li Zhiwen is very tolerant of these senior managers. There is no such thing as 96 in later generations. It is just that these managers want to make achievements so that their year-end dividends can be thicker. For this reason, Li Zhiwen did not go. Intervene.

"President John, please have coffee!" Dora Carrington said.

"Okay, thank you, Miss Dora!" John Suffolk said.

And Dora Carrington made a cup of tea for Li Zhiwen. After all, she understands Li Zhiwen's hobbies.

"Thank you, Dora, there's nothing wrong here, so let's go down and deal with the matter first." Li Zhiwen said casually.

Li Zhiwen's words made Dora Carrington a bit strange. When Li Zhiwen talked with John Suffolk, Dora Carrington was always on one side.

Could it be that the topic was very private this time, but it wasn't quite right? Suddenly Dora Carrington remembered Li Zhiwen's words for her to deal with things. Is it really that kind of thing? But it's really difficult to do that.

Li Zhiwen didn't know that Dora Carrington had so many inner dramas. Seeing Dora Carrington in a daze, he reminded him: "Dora?"

"Okay, boss, I'll take care of it right away!" Dora Carrington recovered and hurriedly finished speaking and left the office.

Dora Carrington thought to herself, if there was time to go at this time, I hope the two of them didn't go far.

Only Li Zhiwen and John Suffolk were left in the room.

Li Zhiwen said: "John, let's start!"

"Okay, boss!" John Suffolk opened the folder he carried with him.

"Boss, we currently have seven luxury brands in the Prada Group, mainly in the fields of apparel, cosmetics, bags, leather goods, silk scarves, etc."

"The seven luxury brands are Prada, Bulgari, Armani, inditex, Valentino, Versace, and Paula."

"Because of the new round of acquisitions, the current owner's share of the Prada Group has reached 90%."

Li Zhiwen nodded and said that he understood that as to why it was not a wholly-owned shareholding, it was because when the new Prada Group was formed, Muccia Prada and her husband Pagio Bertelli, the founding family of the original Prada Group, did not agree to a wholly-owned acquisition.

In addition, Li Zhiwen appreciates the talents of the two, so Li Zhiwen only bought 60% of the shares, but with the expansion of the Prada Group, the shares of the two have been diluted a lot, so it has reached the current 90%.

“The next time the company wants to expand its operations, first ask the Miucia Prada couple whether they want to increase their capital, or if they don’t, they can take a loan. My shares can be controlled at 90%.” Li Zhiwen thought for a while and said.

Li Zhiwen considers it this way. It is not that Li Zhiwen does not want to acquire wholly-owned assets, but that Li Zhiwen wants to retain Muccia Prada and his wife. They are truly talented. With the two of them, many of the Prada Group designs are very avant-garde.

Therefore, we can only use shares to tie up the two. In case the shares are too few, it would be bad if the two ran out and re-established the brand.

Therefore, Li Zhiwen held a small amount of shares to hang the two of them, so that the Muccia Prada and his wife could not make up their minds at once, but when they wanted to make up their minds, the Prada Group suddenly grew stronger.

"Okay, boss!" John Suffolk said.

"The company's total revenue last year was 1.375 billion U.S. dollars and total profit was 495 million U.S. dollars."

"The most-selling brand is Prada with 312 million U.S. dollars, followed by Bulgari with 270 million U.S. dollars, followed by Armani with 250 million U.S. dollars... ."

"At present, the group has a total of 375 stores around the world, mainly in Europe, and Europe is mainly in the country, the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany, and France, followed by the United States."

"Due to the economic recovery, people's demand for luxury goods has increased, and next year's estimated revenue will be more than 1.6 billion US dollars." John Suffolk said.

Li Zhiwen nodded when he heard John Suffolk's words, indicating that he understood.

There is no need to say more about this question. Li Zhiwen understood it when he listened to the report of the Louis Vuitton Group.

"It's a good job this year and deserves praise!" Li Zhiwen praised in a timely manner.

"It's the boss who plays well, so I have such a prospect. In addition, boss, I want to report one thing to you." John Suffolk said.

"Say!" Li Zhiwen made a respectful look.

"That's it, boss, Paul Gucci of the Gucci family contacted me and said that he wanted to sell us 17% of the Gucci Group shares in his hands." John Suffolk said.

"Paul Gucci?" Li Zhiwen asked suspiciously.

"Boss, the Gucci brand was created by Gucci O Gucci. After the death of Gucci O Gucci, the shares of the Gucci Group were divided equally among their three sons, Aldo Gucci, Vasco Gucci and Rudolf Gucci."

"After the death of Vasco Gucci in 1974, Aldo Gucci and Rudolf Gucci bought out the shares of Vasco Gucci's widow, and each accounted for 50% of the shares of the Gucci Group."

"The shares in Orlando Gucci were distributed to three sons ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and Paul Gucci, the second son of Aldo Gucci, was assigned a 17% stake."

"I understand, but why did Paul Gucci sell us the shares of China Gucci Group?" Li Zhiwen asked suspiciously.

"That's why Paul Gucci and Rudolf Gucci failed in the competition for the management of the Florence headquarters. They only took over the Gucci store in New York, the new market. At that time, he quit the Paul Gucci brand without authorization."

"He was fired by his father Orlando Gucci and organized the launch of the brand through legal proceedings."

"Paul Gucci, who is at the end of the road, has nothing. He hates the Gucci brand, so he wants to destroy the Gucci brand." John Suffolk said.

"That's how he destroyed the Gucci brand?" Li Zhiwen wondered.

"Because the founder of Gucci, Gucci O Gucci, has an ancestral training and is not allowed to sell the Gucci brand, so he wants to introduce us into the Gucci Group." John Suffolk said.

"This is to make us and the other members of the Gucci family bayonet popular!" Li Zhiwen said with a smile.
